We saw “Over the Hedge” in the movies; then we saw it on a plane heading to Europe to see relatives; and then we took the relatives to see it in Dutch in the south of Holland. Never understood why it didn’t get another story.
At two different places, I’ve seen the guy who got all his work done for the day – and more – be the one to be laid off precisely because he looked “done” and didn’t look as busy (if you didn’t look at non-obvious indicators of amount of work completed). I’ve also seen the one guy who knew where all the bodies were buried laid off, which literally led to the shutting of the company.
As a comedian he “worked clean” and had such a great reputation – until the truth came out. Like with Woody Allen, it’s sad to lose good work because the creator was a bad person.
I have always wondered if Adams had some inspiration from Wodehouse: “A planter, apparently, does not consider he has had a drink unless it contains at least seven ingredients, and I’m not saying, mind you, that he isn’t right. The man behind the bar told us the things were called Green Swizzles; and, if ever I marry and have a son, Green Swizzle Wooster is the name that will go down in the register.”
